These specific values were selected with the intention of aiding you in the deep remembering of who you are and what is most important to you. They are a tool for self-awareness and self-healing For building community, whether that’s in the conference room, family dinner table, or a night out with friends For exploration and bridging conflicts or differences through awareness, discussions, and shared connectedness For self-discovery of your next steps, whether that’s in a relationship; at work; on the field with your teammates; or a discussion with your boss or family.

When you work with the value, be sure to tune in on an intuitive-gut-level; and reflect on what you see in the symbol, the colors, and the textures. How does that activate the value for you? Does it remind you a memory or a dream? How does that relate to your initial goal or intention with the cards. What value is seeking you? The original art for Animae: The Source is created by hand and printed on Elizabeth’s etching press. During her studies at The New School, she gravitated towards the printmaking technique of collagraphy. Each original symbol is cut from mat board, layered with textures, inked, wiped and printed with Charbonnel oil-based etching ink and BFK Rives printmaking paper.
